BIG DAWG

The meangreensports.com website did a great job with practice...blogged the entire time, then did a 5min video summarizing practice...you should check it out if you get a chance

Seems like today from the practice blog that he was working with the 2nd team today...I know it is the first day of practice, but who knows. I also noticed that the had him playing tackle...the tackle spot behind Gill...I know that Gill had what most will call a successful season, but it wasn't an all-conference season, and he is undersized...only moved up to 265 they said today...maybe Flaz moves into that spot and becomes a 4 year starter...who knows

HUGE gets

Gilmore WILL NOT be a DE...he is going to be a 3-tech...Nelson said that is the only way he is going to see the field...Gilmore has apparently bought into the switch

This is a shift that wins ball games...and leads to QUICK turnarounds!!!!

I would say that looks a tad bit better than what we were rolling out last year based on size alone...(understatement???) DE - Lechristopher Anyiam 6-4, 287 is going to be a HUGE get in the long run I think... I am also pretty sure that I read on one of the new MeanGreenSports articles that Franklin would be moving back to O-Line...for good this time

Anyiam is a HUGE get!!!

This does suck, and you have to believe that if we didn't have "North" in front of our name he would be playing this year, but he isn't and someone WILL step up! My question now is how many years he will actually be able to play for us??? 3 yrs??? 4 yrs???

Everything I have read and heard from players lately is that they are definitely on board now, and that is all that matters to me...the here and now

Very cool feature...meangreensports.com is really putting on a good show. I am there everyday now to see what they are rolling out

Now the only question is how tall Emmitt is???

nice find...good quick read

Gotta love JaQuay Wilburn...I think he would have been a perfect fit in this kind of offense...running and catching the ball

All three of the 3 JUCO d-linemen were not on the depth chart because they were not there during spring I don't think that it is really going to matter who starts really when we get going because I think there are going to be so many d-line packages and rotations going on that you are going to see alot of players seeing significant playing time this season...which is a good thing when you are talking about keeping people fresh and getting more of a pass rush from the d-line next season

I like it...I really find myself believing in this guy (Nelson) more and more every time I hear from him. I really think he is going to make a big difference this year...lets hope so!

He is listed on the roster as #91

Akpunku I would be willing to wager will not be an every down DE. I am thinking that he will get most of his play on 2nd and long and 3rd and long downs. There will be a lot of rotation at DE. I am with you on the whole Gilmore thing. I have always thought that if this guy could get his crap together in the classroom, he would be a STUD at DE. I have heard and read things stating that his is now at about 275lbs...once again there is going to be a lot of rotations I really think the thing that Nelson is going to try and do is to provide several different packages up front, mixing and matching players and taking advantage of their individual abilities. The same thing goes with Cantly...this kid is 300+ lbs, but he is being moved to DE. I am kind of buying into his philosophy that if you don't have the traditional D-linemen at each position, you need to develop hybrid packages to create havoc. If you think about it...it is almost like smaller schools that choose to go to the spread on offense. It is hard for them to just line up toe to toe and beat you in a traditional Pro Set, but they have a chance to put up points in a spread attack. We will see...this is what we all wanted...a guy with experience at this level...this guy has been incredibly successful employing this same process of playing players out of the traditional positions

Schedule through 2014 Here it is...the schedule through 2014...straight from NT

I think that he was talking about 5-6 wins in conference every year...not that that will satisfy you all either, but I am almost certain he wasn't talking about 5-6 wins total every year.

I am not going to lie...that was more than a little funny!

Could someone please post the player ratings for Riley and Cam...maybe a couple other key players, and tell me if the JUCO D-Linemen like Atkinson are in there...and maybe his player rating???? PLEASE!!!

All-Decade Sunbelt Team No Kennedy...no joke...2-time defensive player of the year...and unstopable...truly unstopable! No Spencer No Hall Several glaring ommisions from you NT football team that used to own this league, and still has more titles than any other team! We did place 5 players on this team

Always good to hear stuff like this!!!

I was wanting to know if someone who purchased the game can give us some insight as to player rankings for our Mean Green??? Do they have Riley at WR or QB? Rankings for Cam, Riley, Dunbar, JUCOS, etc.??? Can't get it yet, but I am very intersted in where they are ranking our players!!!!

I say since everyone knows we are going to suck so bad this year, how about everyone who thinks we are going to suck just stay at home! IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT IS GOING ON DON'T COME! It is just like anything else...if you didn't like the food at a resturaunt, you wouldn't get on a message board and bitch about it every day...you just wouldn't go there to eat!!!
